Berat, the Fortress, and the Guide Highlight An Enjoyable Day. - My wife and I toured Berat with Ilir. Both the fortress and our guide highlighted the day. The fortress tells the history of Albania in a nutshell, reflecting the multiple rulers, the role of religion and the personality of the people that results. Ilir also shines. Like all memorable guides, he comes across as affable, skillful, knowledgeable and passionate both about the topic and about guiding. He really brought to life the icons of Onufri Museum which even after years of viewing them, I had never truly appreciated. Ilir similarly fanned my enthusiasm for relics such as the “Purple Bible” as well as the lively history of Albania. Ilir also provides commentary about Albanian life and culture on a comfortable drive from Tiranë. An enjoyable day and highly recommended. As an added plus, Ilir takes beautiful pictures.

Berat Day Trip - Very committed and knowledgeable guide who adapted the trip to our physical conditions given our age. He was very knowledgeable in both history,religion and art history. Nice conversations about this and contemporary conditions in the country.
Warm and accommodating and humorous. We recommend the design of the trip as well as the guide as a person.

Berat Castle tour - We took a tour to Berat with our guide Ilir. Unfortunately for Ilir the others who had scheduled the tour cancelled so we were the only two on the trip. He arrived at the designated time to pick us up at our hotel and introduced himself. The trip to Berat was nice as Ilir did a great job providing us with insights to the history of and changes that Albania has gone through over the centuries. Halfway to Berat we had a stop for coffee and were given a chance to visit with Ilir to get to know about him.
The visit to Berat Castle was great with us learning the history. Ilir is extremely knowledgeable about the iconography in the museum allowing us to appreciate it more than if we had visited it without a guide. He took several pictures of us during the tour which will allow us to look back at the memories when we return home.
